Afghanistan president Ashraf Ghani has agreed to hand over the Afghan-Turk school, run by a pro-Gulen institution, to the Turkish government.
 
Currently six Afghan-Turk schools are operating across Afghanistan where over 8000 students, including girls, are enrolled.
 
Because of the new agreement, some 150 pro-Gulen Turkish teachers will be expelled from Afghanistan after the handover which is expected to happen soon.
 
The schools are in Kabul, Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat, Kandahar, Jalalabad and Sheberghan cities.
 
Afghanistan initially opposed to Turkey’s demand to shut down the schools, but couldn’t resist Ankara pressures, according to sources.
 
The schools will remain open, but run by an institution directly operated by the Turkish government.
